122 The divine cat Mii-chan is relieved that the training of the kittens is over.
Perro, exhausted, keeps saying, “I’m tired, I’m tired,” as he orders his third lunch. I wonder if he’s tired from eating.
The kittens, having eaten their fill, are now napping in the basket, with Mii-chan joining them. Yuri-san and Lu-kun are looking at the basket with blissful expressions.
“Hey, did you forget about me?”
Oh right, Jin-san is here. So, what’s up?
“That’s harsh… Anyway, I’ve gathered people for that matter. What should I do?”
“Why don’t you just go to that person?”
“How should I do that?”
“You got the seal, didn’t you?”
“You’re telling me to go alone? No way, no way, no way. Come on, Nero, help me out.”
Please don’t use that creepy voice. Yan-kun, you can take a break over there. Rest until the first bell. Yan-kun and the others left the room.
“Jin-san, it’s probably not a good idea to talk about this in a place like this.”
“Don’t be stupid. This is exactly the place to talk. Everyone here knows each other. Strangers stand out more.”
I see, that’s a very Jin-like Hunter’s perspective. But doesn’t he worry about spies?
“That’s a silly thought. A Hunter who betrays their comrades can’t survive. It’s the same for guild staff. Besides, the guild and the nobility don’t get along.”
The requests brought by nobles are often terrible, with low fees, so nobody wants to take them. When they’re left unaccepted, the nobles complain, making the guild resentful.
“I’m going to be busy for a while, so I can’t go with you.”
“How long will you be busy?”
“About six days, I think.”
“Six days… Alright, then I’ll go at that time.”
Wait, wait, that’s not good. You should go right away. I mean, go now!
“I-is that not okay?”
“No, it’s not.”
“Okay… I’ll go…”
“Thanks for the meal, nya!”
Perro’s done eating too. What about you, Yuri-san?
“J-just a little more…”
She’s completely smitten with the kittens… I informed Pamir-san that we had reached an agreement with the parents.
“Great job, Nero-kun. Yuri-san, which one do you prefer?”
“I… like the black-and-white one.”
“Then, I’ll take the calico.”
“Is that alright?”
“Of course! They’re both so cute!”
Since we’re at it, I asked Pamir-san if she could take care of the kittens this afternoon. She agreed, provided we included Sera and Lu-kun, but I managed to negotiate just Lu-kun. Sorry, Lu-kun. Enjoy being pampered by the ladies.
“G-gau…”
Perro and Sera, could you take Sumire for a walk?
“Leave it to me, nya! Today, I’ll definitely ride on Sumire-nyan!”
“Nya.”
Perro, good luck. I don’t think you’ll manage, though… I also gave them money and asked them to buy twenty knives for dismantling on their way back.
When the first bell rang, I headed to the dismantling area to resume work. Several times, traders came by to observe the work. It seems like multiple traders are involved, and they came to confirm the existence of the goods.
Four days later, Yuri-san’s room was ready, so she checked out of the inn and moved to her quarters. It feels a little lonely. I haven’t handed over the kittens yet. They need to learn the twelve commandments properly before I do.
By the sixth day, the goblin dismantling was finished, but other monsters remained. When I tried to deal with them, it turned out that Yan-kun and the others had never dismantled those types before. Fortunately, the dismantling area staff and instructors decided to give them special lessons, allowing Yan-kun and the others to learn the skills while dismantling.
Thanks to that, all the dismantling was completed today. Everyone, great job. After finishing the procedures at the guild, the total amount exceeded ten million rets. It’s a huge profit. I’m thrilled. The handling fee varies slightly, but I don’t care.
“Thank you very much!”
I’ve heard that Yan-kun’s mother has been feeling much better since I gave him mineral water every day to give her. Now, if she eats nutritious food and regains her strength, she should be fine.
“If anything comes up again, please let me know.”
“Anything for you, Nero-san!”
“How about we go hunting together next time?”
“Yes!”
Back at the inn, I carefully washed the kittens. Tomorrow is the day to hand them over to their new families.
Mii-chan and Sera are grooming the kittens. Mii-chan doesn’t seem as sad as when we parted with Luca. Instead, she seems relieved that the kittens have grown. These kittens were really lively and cheerful.
They’re friendly, so they’ll be loved wherever they go. But they’re a bit assertive. I told the white and black kittens that Luca, their big brother, lives at the royal palace, so they should listen to him and get along. Well, I’m sure they’ll be fine.
The kittens responded with “mew” and looked like they were saying “yes.”
Lu-kun looks a little lonely. He adored the kittens who were smaller than him.
It seems like he’s going to sleep in the basket with them tonight. It might be a bit cramped, but it’ll be a nice memory. I hope they have sweet dreams.
“Mii~”
